Error 404: ¿Preparados para un mundo sin internet?
by Esther PaniaguaEs cuestión de tiempo que la red caiga. ¿Estamos preparados? Error 404 no es una distopía. Es un impactante ensayo que trata de anticiparse a ella antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Es cuestión de tiempo que la red caiga. Internet se vendrá abajo y viviremos oleadas de pánico. ¿Suena apocalíptico? No lo es. En Error 404, Esther Paniagua aborda las múltiples formas en las que internet se está cayendo y cómo podría producirse un gran apagón de la red de redes; el caos que ello podría desatar y lo dependientes que somos de ella. Desvela quiénes son los guardianes de internet y nos abre la puerta al lado más oscuro del ciberespacio para hablar de crimen y adicción; de quién convirtió el beicon con huevos en el desayuno estadounidense por excelencia y qué tiene eso que ver con la manipulación; de desinformación, polarización y odio incendiario online; de cómo se ha automatizado la discriminación así como de censura y represión. En definitiva, nos muestra el funcionamiento oculto de una tiranía digital que George Orwell o Aldous Huxley tan siquiera imaginaron. ¿Cómo hemos llegado hasta aquí? ¿Qué se oculta en las tinieblas de internet?¿Hay esperanza de un nuevo amanecer? ¿Seremos capaces de cambiar el rumbo? Error 404 no es una distopía. Es un impactante ensayo que trata de anticiparse a ella antes de que sea demasiado tarde. Estas páginas analizan los temas de ahora, tan urgentes como cruciales, con una perspectiva crítica y propositiva, pues, tal y como defiende su autora, a pesar de todo aún hay motivos para la esperanza. Reseñas:«Una llamada urgente y necesaria a reimaginar y rediseñar radicalmente internet por el bien global.»María Sefidari, presidenta de Fundación Wikimedia. «Un diagnóstico clarificador, preciso y sintético del presente como herramienta para crear el futuro. Se lee como una novela.»Mario Tascón, socio director de Prodigioso Volcán. «Un terrorífico relato sobre el fin del mundo, tan preciso y bien documentado que ya nunca volverás a ver internet del mismo modo.»Toni García, periodista. «Cuando juntas mentes brillantes suceden cosas brillantes. Pero cuando conectas a Esther Paniagua con las personas que más han cambiado nuestras vidas y el mundo… eclosiona este libro de lectura obligatoria para los que nos proponemos seguirlo cambiando.»Andreu Vèa, el biógrafo de internet.

A comprehensive introduction to polar codes, including systematic encoding/decoding and list decoding. An introduction to fountain codes. Modern applications to systems such as HDTV, DVBT2, and cell phones Error Correction Coding includes extensive program files (for example, C++ code for all LDPC decoders and polar code decoders), laboratory materials for students to implement algorithms, and an updated solutions manual, all of which are perfect to help the reader understand and retain the content. The book covers classical BCH, Reed Solomon, Golay, Reed Muller, Hamming, and convolutional codes which are still component codes in virtually every modern communication system. There are also fulsome discussions of recently developed polar codes and fountain codes that serve to educate the reader on the newest developments in error correction.
Error Estimates for Advanced Galerkin Methods (Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics #88)
by Marcus Olavi RüterThis monograph provides a compendium of established and novel error estimation procedures applied in the field of Computational Mechanics. It also includes detailed derivations of these procedures to offer insights into the concepts used to control the errors obtained from employing Galerkin methods in finite and linearized hyperelasticity. The Galerkin methods introduced are considered advanced methods because they remedy certain shortcomings of the well-established finite element method, which is the archetypal Galerkin (mesh-based) method. In particular, this monograph focuses on the systematical derivation of the shape functions used to construct both Galerkin mesh-based and meshfree methods. The mesh-based methods considered are the (conventional) displacement-based, (dual-)mixed, smoothed, and extended finite element methods. In addition, it introduces the element-free Galerkin and reproducing kernel particle methods as representatives of a class of Galerkin meshfree methods. Including illustrative numerical examples relevant to engineering with an emphasis on elastic fracture mechanics problems, this monograph is intended for students, researchers, and practitioners aiming to increase the reliability of their numerical simulations and wanting to better grasp the concepts of Galerkin methods and associated error estimation procedures.
Error-Correction Coding and Decoding
by Martin Tomlinson Cen Jung Tjhai Marcel A. Ambroze Mohammed Ahmed Mubarak JibrilThis book discusses both the theory and practical applications of self-correcting data, commonly known as error-correcting codes. The applications included demonstrate the importance of these codes in a wide range of everyday technologies, from smartphones to secure communications and transactions. Written in a readily understandable style, the book presents the authors' twenty-five years of research organized into five parts: Part I is concerned with the theoretical performance attainable by using error correcting codes to achieve communications efficiency in digital communications systems. Part II explores the construction of error-correcting codes and explains the different families of codes and how they are designed. Techniques are described for producing the very best codes. Part III addresses the analysis of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, primarily to calculate their stopping sets and low-weight codeword spectrum which determines the performance of these codes. Part IV deals with decoders designed to realize optimum performance. Part V describes applications which include combined error correction and detection, public key cryptography using Goppa codes, correcting errors in passwords and watermarking. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in error-correcting codes and their applications, ranging from non-experts to professionals at the forefront of research in their field.

Errors-in-Variables Methods in System Identification (Communications and Control Engineering)
by Torsten SöderströmThis book presents an overview of the different errors-in-variables (EIV) methods that can be used for system identification. Readers will explore the properties of an EIV problem. Such problems play an important role when the purpose is the determination of the physical laws that describe the process, rather than the prediction or control of its future behaviour. EIV problems typically occur when the purpose of the modelling is to get physical insight into a process. Identifiability of the model parameters for EIV problems is a non-trivial issue, and sufficient conditions for identifiability are given. The author covers various modelling aspects which, taken together, can find a solution, including the characterization of noise properties, extension to multivariable systems, and continuous-time models. The book finds solutions that are constituted of methods that are compatible with a set of noisy data, which traditional approaches to solutions, such as (total) least squares, do not find. A number of identification methods for the EIV problem are presented. Each method is accompanied with a detailed analysis based on statistical theory, and the relationship between the different methods is explained. A multitude of methods are covered, including: instrumental variables methods; methods based on bias-compensation; covariance matching methods; and prediction error and maximum-likelihood methods. The book shows how many of the methods can be applied in either the time or the frequency domain and provides special methods adapted to the case of periodic excitation. It concludes with a chapter specifically devoted to practical aspects and user perspectives that will facilitate the transfer of the theoretical material to application in real systems. Errors-in-Variables Methods in System Identification gives readers the possibility of recovering true system dynamics from noisy measurements, while solving over-determined systems of equations, making it suitable for statisticians and mathematicians alike. The book also acts as a reference for researchers and computer engineers because of its detailed exploration of EIV problems.

Escaping the Rabbit Hole: How to Debunk Conspiracy Theories Using Facts, Logic, and Respect
by West MickThe Earth is flat, the World Trade Center collapse was a controlled demolition, planes are spraying poison to control the weather, and actors faked the Sandy Hook massacre…. All these claims are bunk: falsehoods, mistakes, and in some cases, outright lies. But many people passionately believe one or more of these conspiracy theories. They consume countless books and videos, join like-minded online communities, try to convert those around them, and even, on occasion, alienate their own friends and family. Why is this, and how can you help people, especially those closest to you, break free from the downward spiral of conspiracy thinking? In Escaping the Rabbit Hole, author Mick West shares over a decade’s worth of knowledge and experience investigating and debunking false conspiracy theories through his forum, MetaBunk.org, and sets forth a practical guide to helping friends and loved ones recognize these theories for what they really are. Perhaps counter-intuitively, the most successful approaches to helping individuals escape a rabbit hole aren’t comprised of simply explaining why they are wrong; rather, West’s tried-and-tested approach emphasizes clear communication based on mutual respect, honesty, openness, and patience. West puts his debunking techniques and best practices to the test with four of the most popular false conspiracy theories today (Chemtrails, 9/11 Controlled Demolition, False Flags, and Flat Earth) — providing road maps to help you to understand your friend and help them escape the rabbit hole. These are accompanied by real-life case studies of individuals who, with help, were able to break free from conspiracism. With sections on:the wide spectrum of conspiracy theories avoiding the “shill” label psychological factors and other complications(and concluding with) a look at the future of debunking, Mick West has put forth a conclusive, well-researched, practical reference on why people fall down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and how you can help them escape.

Essays on the Visualisation of Legal Informatics (Law, Governance and Technology Series #54)
by Vytautas Cyras Friedrich LachmayerBoth legal scholars and computer scientists will be curious to know how the gap between law and computing can be bridged. The law, and also jurisprudence, is based on language, and is mainly textual. Every syntactic system has its semantic range, and so does language, which in law achieves a high degree of professional precision. The use of visualisations is a syntactic supplement and opens up a new understanding of legal forms. This understanding was reinforced by the paradigm shift from textual law to legal informatics, in which visual formal notations are decisive. The authors have been dealing with visualisation approaches for a long time and summarise them here for discussion. In this book, a multiphase transformation from the legal domain to computer code is explored. The authors consider law enforcement by computer. The target view is that legal machines are legal actors that are capable of triggering institutional facts. In the visualisation of statutory law, an approach called Structural Legal Visualisation is presented. Specifically, the visualisation of legal meaning is linked with tertium comparationis, the third part of the comparison. In a legal documentation system, representing one legal source with multiple documents is viewed as a granularity problem. The authors propose to supplement legislative documents ex ante with explicit logic-oriented information in the form of a mini thesaurus. In contrast to so-called strong relations such as synonymy, antonymy and hypernymy/hyponymy, one should consider weak relations: (1) dialectical relations, a term of dialectical antithesis; (2) context relations; and (3) metaphorical relations, which means the use of metaphors for terms. The chapters trace topics such as the distinction between knowledge visualisation and knowledge representation, the visualisation of Hans Kelsen’s Pure Theory of Law, the separation of law and legal science, legal subsumption, legal relations, legal machines, encapsulation, compliance, transparency, standard cases and hard cases.
